Happy Halloween, 2010

Well, it finally happened, Halloween day arrived!
The girls were so excited that they had to put their costumes on first thing in the morning.
And they practiced trick-or-treating at our door several times to be sure they had the hang of it.
Then we took a short break to carve some pumpkins. They thought this was very exciting, but slightly disgusting and slimy, so they kept a safe distance,
and let Mami do all the work! 
The end product: one very happy pumpkin (Resli's) and one very scary pumpkin (Lela's - or at least an attempt to be scary):

Finally evening arrived and we all got ready for trick-or-treating. And we practiced our scary faces.
I kept up the scary look once we got out on to the streets, but they just went for cute. I guess they figured they'd get more candy that way.

They took very good care of each other and held hands walking up to every door. We went to a great neighborhood with tons of decorations and lots of kids and everyone had their lights on and welcomed them. 

In all, a very successful outing!

It's hard to look scary with a black mouse nose.

1. Um, did Resli lose a front tooth and no one told me?
2. I'm very glad the Minnie ears made it on for the official trick-or-treating.
3. Nice face, Mami.
4. Did you let them keep/eat their candy?!?

1. Yes, back in August. REGULAR blog followers would have seen the post about it. Ehem.
2. Only briefly.
3. Shut up.
4. One piece a day for dessert after dinner. It will never go away at this point, but soon it will disappear and they won't think of it again.
